With that effort now complete, the LABC-A Committee is recommending to all CA Governmental Member Voting Representatives (“GMVR”) to support the CA consensus recommended positions pertaining to select code change proposals that were individually considered and received a final action during the International Code Council (“ICC”) Public Comment Hearings held on October 19-25 of 2016 in Kansas City, MO.

The document linked below consolidates and summarizes the recommended voting actions by the various participating CA chapters, organizations and jurisdictions to ensure ease of comparison and review for other CA governmental members.
